This release is primarily focused on improvements of stuff related to cluster programming and Raft: persistent WAL, transferring over the wire, buffering and reducing I/O overhead. Many ideas for this release were proposed by potrusil-osi in the issue 57.

  • Added more members to SpanReader<T> and SpanWriter<T> types

DotNext.Metaprogramming 3.1.0

  • Added SkipAsync method to IAsyncBinaryReader interface
  • Added TryGetBufferWriter to IAsyncBinaryWriter interface that allows to avoid async overhead when writing to in-memory buffer
  • Added more performance optimization options to FileBufferingWriter class
  • Fixed bug in StreamSegment.Position property setter causes invalid position in the underlying stream

DotNext.Net.Cluster 3.1.0

  • Added support of three log compaction modes to PersistentState class:
    • Sequential which is the default compaction mode in 3.0.x and earlier versions. Provides best optimization of disk space by the cost of the performance of adding new log entries
    • Background which allows to run log compaction in parallel with write operations
    • Foreground which runs log compaction in parallel with commit operation
  • Small performance improvements when passing log entries over the wire for TCP and UDP protocols
  • Added buffering API for log entries
  • Added optional buffering of log entries and snapshot when transferring using TCP or UDP protocols
  • Introduced copy-on-read behavior to PersistentState class to reduce lock contention between writers and the replication process
  • Introduced in-memory cache of log entries to PersistentState class to eliminate I/O overhead when appending and applying new log entries
  • Reduced number of reads from Raft audit trail during replication
  • Interpreter Framework: removed overhead caused by deserialization of command identifier from the log entry. Now the identifier is a part of log entry metadata which is usually pre-cached by underlying WAL implementation

DotNext.AspNetCore.Cluster 3.1.0

  • Added ability to override cluster members discovery service. See IMembersDiscoveryService interface
  • Small performance improvements when passing log entries over the wire for HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocols
  • Added optional buffering of log entries and snapshot when transferring over the wire. Buffering allows to reduce lock contention of persistent WAL
  • Introduced incremental compaction of committed log entries which is running by special background worker

Breaking Changes: Binary format of persistent WAL has changed. PersistentState class from 3.1.0 release is unable to parse the log that was created by earlier versions.

Major release of version 2.0 is completely finished and contains polished existing and new API. All libraries in .NEXT family are upgraded. Migration guide for 1.x users is here. Please consider that this version is not fully backward compatible with 1.x.

Major version is here for the following reasons:

  1. .NET Core 3.1 LTS is finally released
  2. .NET Standard 2.1 contains a lot of new API required for optimizations. The most expected API is asynchronous methods in Stream class. These enhancements are necessary for evolution of .NEXT library. For instance, new DotNext.IO library could not be released without new .NET API.
  3. ASP.NET Core 2.2 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Therefore, DotNext.AspNetCore.Cluster library of version 1.x relies on unmaintainable platform. Now it is based on ASP.NET Core 3.1 which has long-term support.

What is done in this release:

  1. Quality-focused changes
    1. Removed trivial "one-liners" in DotNext library
    2. Reduced and unified API to work with unmanaged memory in DotNext.Unsafe library
    3. DotNext.AspNetCore.Cluster migrated to ASP.NET Core 3.1 LTS
    4. Increased test coverage and fixed bugs
    5. Additional optimizations of performance in Write-Ahead Log
    6. Fixed issue #4
    7. Introduced API for client interaction support described in Chapter 6 of Raft dissertation
    8. Migration to C# 8 and nullable reference types
  2. New features
    1. Introduced DotNext.IO library with unified asynchronous API surface for .NET streams and I/O pipelines. This API provides high-level methods for encoding and decoding of data such as strings and blittable types. In other words, if you want to have BinaryReader or BinaryWriter for pipelines then welcome!
    2. Ability to obtain result of task asynchronously when its result type is not known at compile-time
    3. Fast hexadecimal string conversion to Span<byte> and vice versa

Raft users are strongly advised to migrate to this new version.
